DESCRIPTION AND INFO: Our Farm to School Program is run mostly by our FoodCorps Service Member. We also have a Farm to School committee that involves community members; teachers; and the Food Service Manager. We have a greenhouse and garden on campus; and a donated garden off campus. These areas are used for hands-on education for the students and families of 21st Century Program participants. Food from this garden is used in the kitchen during the summer feeding program and the school year program to raise money for our program through the local farmer\'s market; for educational life-skills classes; and for kids to take produce home.
